thanks for the warm welcome =^^=
I've been so lazy lately. I had a lot of things to finish but hopefully now I
can reply to you faster
Wow! I bet you know more by now! I'm sooo afraid of Kanji There's so many of them, plus they have various ways of being read.... 80?
Elementary school? That's...a lot
You're scaring me even more
But I admire your will for not giving up and learning japanese.
See, that's what I was talking about! You write something and it then you read
it in a different way! I mean, I find that interesting but to learn that must be
really hard
Perhaps you can make me some chapter summaries of UraBoku once you learn more
I
just took a look at chapter 4, need to see the rest! You must be telling
yourself "Why doesn't she just learn it too?"
uhm...yeah, I don't think I have an excuse for not learning
Ahah, and here comes out Code Geass ranting! >D
Honestly, there's fanservice for both boys and girls.
Talking about Kallen, have you noticed how people are now hating Suzaku because
he "kidnapped" Kallen? I mean, it doesn't make sense....Oh
c'mon....they just have to have a new reason to hate Suzaku....I lol'd. Not sure
how to explain it to you...It's simply ridiculous.
Ahaha, true
It seems things started to move again by the end of ep 12, but still....Why do I
have a feeling something will happen to Shirley...That girl has already suffered
much in lulu's hands...I just hope they don't pull another "Euphie
tragedy" from her...
Those princesses look annoying. I'm kinda happy Cornelia's back, but again, too
much characters...
Will they start killing off characters because there's too many?
Thank goodness the anime ended. And I'm hesitating a bit whether I shall watch
or not the 2nd season....The first was bad enough already...I saw some
screenshots and I was like "wasn't that Kaname and Zero thingy supposed to
happen later in the story? what the...."
Actually, even VK's manga is getting a bit boring to me lately...
I still use the polygon tool for extracting some things too
I keep hearing that Illustrator's pen tool is better than PS. So I should really
try Illustrator?
I'm not really familiar with the differences so...
I so agree with you. And it doesn't help that Fuuma is a complex character,
sometimes I can't imagine what's going on in his head. How I miss X....
I gotta do a Kamui vector sometime. I'm amazed at how I haven't done one
I've noticed they weren't that skinny in the first season/first scans to be
released.
Now I laugh so hard...I think it was in ep11, when lulu was typing...he made
some weird poses again. wtf!
I know that there's a lot of japanese stories that involve incest (even VK
now...).
I personally hate it.
There was a book we were obligated to read for Portuguese class, called
"The Maias" and it involved incest. Two siblings that were separated
when they were little, meet again later and fall in love....then a friend
discovers that they are siblings and they break apart....and so and so....
The boo was kinda interesting but disgusting at the same time (and it was over
600 pages )
Yeah, the rating is horrible. And Sunrise thought it was because of RAW
downloads, that's why there were people arrested for sharing anime online.
And if Code Geass gets another season then it would be the last drop. Just
conclude the story already! They're making a big deal out of C.C.'s story and
Geass....if it ends up being disappointing then I dunno how I will
react...'cause it looked so promising and now R2 is plain booooring....
I think one of the few things I found interesting in R2 was V.V. and Charles
being twin brothers (and this was given by the relationship chart on the
official site...)
Too bad Junjou already ended...
I haven't been online much myself, dunno if there's news of a 2nd season....
but I'd prefer that Studio DEEN announced Junjou's 2nd season instead of
VK's!
and OMG! There's a Suzuki-san teddy bear! It's 1 meter tall! *__*
"What have you done with Suzuki-san, Usagi?
"
So, what's up lately?
I have been lazy (like always ). I go
to sleep at 5 AM and wake up at 1 PM I spend all day playing video games or drawing...though I began vectoring
again like...yesterday
merged: 07-03-2008 ~ 04:12pm
oh and I'm loving your new UP <33
It's normal to be lazy after going though a lot of stuff in RL! I become lazy
too lately All I wanna do is sleep 24/7 But
that's not possible, rite?
Kanji is indeed scary There's
so many times that I wanna give up.. but somehow I couldn't. I'm still going
on.. but a little slow. To make sure I understand and know the kanji perfectly,
I decided to do "1 day, 1 kanji". At least, it won't confuse me much
if I did that At the same time, I also decided to re-review my grammar. I think
I had a little problem there, that's why I couldn't read some of the
kana/furigana.
Summary? I'm thinking of scanlating the rest of the manga! I'm alreday halfway
done with chapter 4.. but I got distracted with lot's of things like.. UraBoku
newest chapter, and before that I was making an Illustrator Vector Tutorial
(already done, but it's still need some final checking)
Oh yeah... I almost forgot! There'll be new UraBoku drama CD! It'll be out on
late November! I can't wait for it! It seems like it'll finally cover Kanata
betrayal on Yuki, and Luka "confessions". Kyaaaaaaaaaa!
Oh yeah, it's not complete without having CG ranting, ne?
I kinda know that's going to happened (remember that I don't read discussions).
But oh well, they're just a bunch of idiot who's been wanting to bash Suzaku. I
mean, the last few episode Suzaku rarely comes out.. so he didn't get the chance
to do anything, so when he took Kallen... those idiot just take the chance to
bash him again Why
didn't they blamed Xingke? If he didn't take Kallen in the first place, Suzaku
wouldn't get his hands on Kallen (and Guren)! But oh well, what's done is
done.
I just watched ep13.... and it seems like Shirley has become just like Euphie
tragedies. Damn Rollo! I never like Rollo, he's too possessive over Lelouch (to
the point of disgusting), but I never like Shirley either.. It just, she didn't
deserve to die like that. But I kinda wanting to point out that's partly her own
fault that she died
You know what? I was wondering, why is there a lack of Suzaku in both new OP/ED?
I watched them a hundred of times already It
makes me wanna cry. But seems like both Guren & Lancelot got a new upgrade
(look like Destiny wings, but if we consider the color, Justice &
Freedom?).. and the thing puzzles me is, those wings look similar. Does that
mean it was upgraded by the same person (or team)? WTH? And I also noticed Gino
expressions has become serious... a real Gino? And then, there's this Suzaku
& Lelouch shot on the ED. Did you notice that they're holding onto each
other (well, sort of. Suzaku placing his hand over Lelouch shoulder, and Lelouch
is touching Suzaku arm)? Woah.. That is so unexpected. I can imagine that
there's a HUGE change in Suzaku & Lelouch relationship later. Hopefully, for
good
Oh yeah.. seeing another CLAMP Suzaku made me remember. Did you read Tsubasa
manga? The latest chapter that a glimpse of an older version of CCS!Syaoran,
know what I'm thinking? He probably look like Suzaku! I couldn't help it! That
scene when he handed his sword, kinda remind me of Suzaku posture
Awww.... I wanna see older CCS!Syaoran face!
Hahaha... me too. I'm getting bored with VK manga... not only the anime, but the
manga too? Honestly, I haven't read the last 2-3 chapter yet. It's not as good
as when it first started Yep, it's best if I gave up on both.
Hmmm... actually, to me Illustrator pen tool is much easier to "bend"
(that's probably not the right word.. but, oh well ). When I teach my sister to use both Photoshop & Illustrator pen tool,
she also agreed that Illustrator was easier to use (My sis never use
Photoshop/Illustrator before. I had to teach her first.). Well, if you wanna use
Illustrator, you can try looking at this tut first. It's a basic Illustrator
tutorial: http://minimonster777.deviantart.com/art/Ultimate-Vector-Tut-1-2-23976432
And I'll post my vector tut right after I'm happy with it
I actually like that "Kamui"Fuuma.. but like you said, we don't know
what's on his mind. Is he evil or good? If he's evil, why did he had that soft
expressions (and nothing like real Fuuma too!) and if he's good, why did he kill
so many people? I don't get it.. but that's what makes him interesting
Hopefully, CLAMP continue with the manga. It's a shame if they don't.
Aww... I wanna vector Kamui too. But I didn't know which image to choose! If I
took to long, I probably start vectoring Nataku first! There's this cute image
of Nataku smiling
I love that Nataku! He had such a soft expressions when he's with Karen. So he's
thinking that Fuuma is his father, while Karen his mother. Hahaha.. weird
combination of parents
Oh god... why didn't they "graduate" already with that weird posses!
Few days ago, I accidently read some discussions #lurk (I wanna my new Genbu
Kaiden manga chapter), they're talking about Suzaku, and why he wanna die. Then
there's this guy, which I think a Suzaku hater says Suzaku is a gay, but another
come out and says "Lelouch is much gayer! He had an obsessive "little
brother" and this gay posses he always did" I laughed really hard when
I read that! Oh my god.. that made my day! But I decided not to read any further
Somehow, Suzaku-hater always wins at arguments.
Japanese accepts all kinds of relationship, aren't they? I remember watching Koi
Kaze few years back, and I almost died when the two sibling had sex! I throw
away the CD's after that (not after I scratched it). Urghhh.. I had no idea it's
an incest. Though there's some hints earlier.. but I thought the girl didn't
love her brother, how I was wrong! Urghhh.. that really scars me for the rest of
my life
Sunrise actually blaming the RAW downloading for the bad rating? How stupid they
are? It has nothing to do with it. They probably couldn't accept the fact that
R2 isn't as good as the first one... so they need to blame someone/something for
it. Just admit it already, Sunrise (and also the Geass team production)! Oh
yeah... I remember seeing a post at LJ.. and this person imagine that Lelouch is
fed-up with the recent storyline and decided to quit. He told them to get Sayoko
to replaced him instead, and hang up. Then he call again and said he's taking
Suzaku & Nunnally with him! I laughed REALLY hard at that. Imagine if that's
really happened! Lelouch quits R2? And taking Suzaku & Nunnally with him?
Ahh.. I'm kinda surprised about that too. Charles & V.V twins? We know that
Charles call V.V "niisan" before, but I thought it means
nothing.
Yep.. I'm sad that Junjou's end. But I found out that it's been licensed! That
fast? And that would mean, Junjou is actually much popular than VK in US. I
mean, that's how they do it, right? The popular series got licensed even faster.
That kinda make me feel good. Junjou actually beats VK! Nyahahaha!
I saw that Suzuki-san too! I was like "awwww... I wanna that one too!"
Suzuki-san really popular, ne? It's kinda funny to see Nowaki/Hiroki fans make a
huge fuss over Suzuki-san
Ummm... now that I'm done with the tutorial, I'm alternating between learning
kanji & vectoring. I'm trying to finish my Luka vector wall
It's been delayed for a months already. And I'm thinking of starting another one
in the meantime
I actually got bored with my dark UP.. so I use Luka image. It's actually the
same one I used for Luka fanlisting.. even the color is similar. BUT! I forgot
that the new layout is under beta.. so, I won't be able to use this one for long
Quote by Kairi-Hearts
Thanks so mch for all the support
I like to write those kind of things, especially when I can go back and use them
to be creative and express myself more than words. Glad to kow I was
"successful".
I can't really say I'm walking now too, perhaps I am, but still very slowly.
Thank you so much again. Hope you can begin to "walk" very soon and
take off the "ugly" mask.
I've always wanted to write things down, but for the longest time I couldn't
bring myself to. I've started writing just a little lately though, and I'm
glad.
And I'm so glad that you've begun to walk again...even if it is slowly. I've
been completely frozen for exactly a year now, so hopefully I can try and take
some steps. Ugly mask...I never really thought of it that way. But you're right.
I'd much rather be able to show my true smile than a meaningless fake
one.
Quote by Kairi-Hearts
(hiromi <33)
Yes, it is a success ^^
In my point of view, I think this is the difference between artists and simply
wallers. Because artists put a lot more of emotions into making them than simply
wallers. I apreciate the concept a lot more than the finished result but when
the finished result really portrays the concept, it's plain awesome.
I think that's what happened with your wall, both the concept and the result are
great ^^
I hope you've been doing fine and that everything is okay ^.^
edit:
whoa, wait! A journal update!
You went to a park? How lucky. I haven't been to one of those for years
Oh wow, thanks so much
I can't bring myself to think of myself as a real artist, but hopefully I can
try to express emotion again, at least in my personal series ^^ It's so
wonderful that everyone's seeing the emotion in the wall. Like your wall too
^^
Yeah, journal update Yeah,
the park was fun, it's pretty big and had a ton of things going on, plus there
was a nice lake and stuff. I mostly went to find new things to take pictures of
:P
Quote by Kairi-HeartsRemember when I
started crying during PE class? Who was there for me at that moment?
Now I have to start thinking what to do for your b-day...perhaps Rena? Syao?
hanaratsu~
perhaps we could work on the stories while I'm at your place the next time?
oh, and where's "Johanna"? We need to fangirl
Awww your welcome
And yeah, we should
oh, you mean Juhana She's
on my friendlist
Quote by Kairi-Heartsoh you finished
it already, you're so fast!
really like the couple vector^^
i kinda agree that the moon looks a bit strange, but I'm loving the concept of
the wall~
hope to see more originals soon ^^
Hmmm the moon? not
really sure what to do about that,
it's suppose to be big but I can try making it smaller to see..
Quote by Kairi-Heartsknew this was
yours from the thumbnail
glad to see a new wall from you, and it's true tears so it's a plus :3
as always, vectoring work is fantastic, and your painting skill as awesome as
ever ^^
I can really feel those emotions in the wall...a message... I can't really put
it in words... (oh my comments sucks )
I'm really loving this one, perhaps it has become one of my favs from you due to
the emotions on it.
The Blue Version is really pretty as well ^.^
Aw, thanks so much Kairi-chan! <3 I'm glad you can feel the emotions in the
wall. I think this is the first time I really attempted that, so I'm very happy
that it seems to be a success ^^ Your comment doesn't suck It made
me so happy I'm really glad you like it, thanks again ^_^
Quote by Kairi-Heartsyatta~
you finished it! Really happy to see it complete
Your vectoring work is getting better, no doubt about that.
It's so neat, plus I love your reconstructions ^^
Mikuru looks so kawaii x3
Arigatou
gahh >___< now i have to finish 5 more vectors for tomorrow =___=
and i didn't had time to make the crossdressing one -___-
oh well
Take care~!
Quote by Kairi-Heartshmm...that
project sounds very interesting
I already said in the wallie but I really love the vector.
love the hair but specially the eyes.
And that scan was really full of text. You did an awesome job!
Congrats
Quote by Kairi-HeartsI still think
vamp yuuki is beautiful *_*
i'm loving your vector works, the hair is fabulous but the eyes are really
really gorgeous, I can't stop staring.
You really did a fantastic job ( I find Hno-sensei's style a bit hard to work
with )
I think the wall is simple and I like it that way. This wall style is cute
Hi there kairi-chan
thanks a lot for the sweet comments
&
I really appreciate your support
well hino-sensei's style looks kinda hard to vector but once you started working
on you'll find it much easier than you thought & you do enjoy working on
them
see you around

is back~ *hugs*
hope your exams went well ^^
and for the highlight in vector-wallers too
yes I am
yes they are perfect I think I will pass
you're welcome
Quote by Kairi-Hearts
oh my god! Omone-san! *hugs*
It's been such a long time
but now I'm free! I finished my entrance exams yesterday (3 days straight) and
their results come out on july 7th, though I'll only know if I entered college
on September. So, until then, I'm free! Oh I love freedom
I saved all my data on cds so no worries there. I still got everything
Oh, my pc used to freeze a lot too, but I bought 1GB of memory so it's all right
now.
I guess by this time you're already better from your illness Did you get many marks?
I have some of them but they don't bother me
Yup, I use color pencils, oil pastels, markers and such to usually color my
works. It's way different than coloring digitally. Though once you make a
mistake you can't cancel it like in the pc
I've lost hope in xxxHOLiC's anime version since season 1. So when I saw this
2nd season going downhill I just stopped watching. I haven't watched since
ep.7...I mean, they did change a lot of things since they left out the TRC
crossovers, which are essential to holic's story
Haha Still haven't finished it yet. Two roses left. They are not hard
to vector, but I'm taking a bit of time to explore some ways of coloring them.
Patience is the key to vector roses...at least for me. I vectored them first
then I started to paint them too, to see if the result was more interesting so
I'm taking twice the time to finish them. I hope I can submit the vector-wall
this weekend or something.
You painted your living room? Cool. I had to paint the living room in my
grandpa's house like, two months ago, but since I have a problem in my back it
was a bit painful.
It's pretty hot here these last days. Finally, I mean, we're in June and it's
usually pretty hot already in May. But this year it was raining a lot. The
weather is really messed up.
I already went to the beach last week, before the exams. We went by bycicle, but
I hadn't been on one for 7 years. It took some time to get to the beach
Though I actually don't really like to go to the beach, I'd rather go to the
pool. And I'm not very fond of Summer, I like Spring, even Winter,
better.
So, what have you been up to lately?
I was so busy with school this past 3 weeks...thank god it's over
Oh, you changed your layout! So cute x3
I wish you good look with the entrance exams. But know you have to wait for such
a long time.. For me it would be like hell. What do you think? Did you do well?
September? WOW! Such a long time.. I just have holidays from 21/7 until
8/8.
I still have to save all my data on a cd but I always forget it. I have to write
a note or something.. My pc is kinda slow the last days.. Too bad I cannot save
for a new pc until i buy a kitchen..
i didn't know that you can buy memory for the pc.. is it expensive? if not I
have to think about it.. because all in all the notebook is ok.. it just have
low memory
yehaa i got some marks at my right arm, but it's okay since i am used to have
marks.. and it's my fault.. and yehaa i am feeling better=D but it's too bad
since i have to work now.. the break was kinda nice =D
that's right.. that a huge advantage of digital painting.. but i prefer original
painting since it looks way cooler. I am kinda envious of you =D
that's right.. xxxholic without trc crossover is kinda weird. well i watched kei
epi 1 already but I don't feel like watching the other episodes.. i hope they
won't make a third season.. anyways i am thinking the manga comes to it ends
since they revealed watanuki's first wish a few chapters ago.. I am not sure if
i understand everything right..
i don't have patience when I vector.. I always wanna finish everything fast.. so
it's a good thing that you take your time and experience..
I also prefer spring because the weather is nice, the flowers start blooming,
and it's not too hot.. but i have to admit that i am really glad it's hot
because all the children in the kindergarten are outside and I have a 120
minutes break instead of 30 minutes =D
you have a beach? nyaa that's so mean.. i wanna have one too..
btw do you watch football? the whole country is full with german and turkish
flags.. i am sick of it.. i already had enough two years ago..
anyways have a nice day..
i am going to enjoy the sunshine until i am going sleeping =D
Quote by erikamirouI can't be gone for
2 days without you making something awsome! I
really love it!
I think the background is my fav, love the colors, love the shapes, love love ,
love! X3
And the girl looks so soft kinda
looks like you though, well not because od the looks but because of the
expression (though we can't see the whole face ) and because of the fact that we can't see her whole face
confusing comment
I hope there's a lot more vector-walls coming...it all depends on my arm and
wrist
and yeah, confusing moment~
as always <33
eheh you're welcome and
yeah, i hope there's a lot more vector-walls to come
Hanaratsu! btw, are we going to keep this name or not?
Quote by Kairi-HeartsI just noticed
I haven't really been commenting your works lately, and it isn't fair because
your originals are so awesome <3
the character is <33 , I can feel a very deep and strong emotion from it.
that background is beautiful as well, it has a great contrast with the character
^^
I love those flowers :3 and your grass is great as always
*I'm no good at commenting
Thank you so much Kairi <33
Its alright, I still love that you put something
down. Most people don't comment so it's nice to
have a few sentences down :3
Wohoo! Look who's back OMG!
Finally! I'm free~
I finished the entrance exams yesterday!
hurray!
You submited a lot of works in the meantime
Gotta check them later ^^
How much have you learned already? You
sounded pretty serious about learning Japanese now.
Yeah, I think it was karate too. Hopefully I can take a better look at the manga
now
Kira was okay in SEED. I didn't like him at all in Destiny like you said.
Fllay added a nice development to other characters as well, specially Kira.
What I hate the most is to see a character doing nothing, no development and
such. Just standing there...I hate characters like that, kinda like fanservice I
guess
Hahaha Poor Rolo. I'd rather see Lelouch staying single than pairing up
with any character, specially C.C. . I think it's because of the role he plays
Besides, Code Geass had no romance at all in the first season,
it's so weird to see romance now. More "fanservice" ?
Yeah, it would be nice to see them being friends again, but yeah, it's quite
impossible
I'm still wondering how they're going to develop the other characters and plots
with only 14 eps left.
I have a lot of catch-up to do with other anime though... Geass and Junjou are
the only ones I kept watching even though I was busy
Maybe I'm just more used to the manga.... But I gave up on Vampire Knight's
anime...It just makes me laugh at how ridiculous it looks.
Shiki always looks bored it's so amusing
Yeah, polygon tool. I never read a tutorial for vectoring so I
looked at vectors and thought of a way to do them.
Later, I heard people saying you used the pen tool to vector so I started
practicing with it, even though I sucked at it first Looks
like almost everyone couldn't really use the pen tool
I really like to discover and play around PS. Right now, I have a couple of
roses left to vector but I'm taking some time cause I'm doing them in many
different ways.
I remember it being on hiatus because of the eartquakes in Japan, since X is
about the destruction of the world...But I dunno more than that. I really want
them to finish the story. Right when Kamui and Fuuma were fighting...
Oh my, thank goodness I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
It's so damn gay, plus the fact that he is skinny doesn't help one bit...Erika
and I usually make a lot of fun because of the way he is drawn....it doesn't
look like he has a certain thing....I mean....he is a boy after all....
There is a difference between "suki" and
"aishiteru"...couldn't he just say "suki" to Nunnally?
Yeah, even lovers get quite embarassed about saying "aishiteru".
Ugh....siscon!
Haha, true! I thought Suzaku really wanted to kill Lulu and then he just wants
to ask why he killed Euphie. I just hope they develop more of the story....this
Chinese Federation arc is a bit boring to me....no, the whole R2 seems a bit
boring to me...
Looks like it. Though there are only a few side stories left to cover, I'm still
wondering if I'll watch the 3rd one. The 2nd season was too boring for me, sure
they had to answer all those mysteries, but the way the story was told made me
fall asleep.
Pappi-san is in Macross Frontier too. Once his character spoke I knew it was him
right away
Exactly....enough Ishi-tan's girly voice.....it's enough in Okane ga Nai....
Hahaha!
True, Haruhiko gets damn annoying, specially when trying to steal Misaki.
And just when I finally get vacations, Junjou's anime is going to end. No fair
Why announce it's only 12 eps after saying it's 24?
Yeah, I had a test AFTER a field trip but I did fine.
Though the next days were difficult. I pulled an all-night for 3 days straight
to handle all my 4 works on time....and it was worth it. I got pretty high
scores in those 4.
My exams were all in a row, 3 days straight.... All of them went fine, I found
them a piece of cake, except the drawing exam. They changed everything. The
whole structure was different, added more exercises, the materials they asked
you to use were to difficult for just 3 hours...I talked with some friends from
other schools and it looks like it went bad for everyone.
What's worst is that that's the exam I need to enter college
But oh well, no more talking about this! I'm free! Haha, I'm really going crazy
here with my vacations
But yeah, what have you been doing lately? Vectoring?
Oh my god! Kairi is back! Miss you so much!
actually, I've been wanting to go over and asked what happened... but I suddenly
remember that you had an entrance exam somewhere this month, so held back and
decided to wait. And I was right! Good to have you back!
Yep! I'm 100% serious! In fact, I'm already starting Level 4 Kanji (to be more
exact, it's the kanji that elementary school 1st grader learned). And there's 80
of them Oh yeah, I went ORO. I'm not even done with half of it! It's sooooo hard! And I wanna cry! But I'm still continuing! For the sake of
UraBoku! Oh yeah, talking about UraBoku, I recently decided to find
out what Yuki names mean in kanji.. and finally realize that his name written in
kanji actually reads as "yuuzuki" which means "evening
moons".
Ahahaha... fanservice sucks. And Kallen just there to provide fanservice so that
perverted Geass fan wouldn't ran away But I noticed that Kallen starting to make a "face" whenever she
sees Lelouch & C.C together... Look like someone is jealous!
Somehow, I think that "romance" is quite unsuitable for Code Geass
(more like, for Lelouch). I dunno.. it's just sounds.. off. I mean, Lelouch in
romantic relationship? *snort* yeah right.
Hmmm.. I was thinking about that too. Time flies really fast, and tomorrow
already episode 11. And I honestly think that there won't be much character
development.. with more new character will be introduced properly (like the new
royal princesses & other Knights of Round).
I also gave up in VK anime It
wasn't as good as I thought it would be, so.. yeah. I only keep watching (and
reading) for Shiki sake. But it seems like the number of episode is only 12-13..
while the rest will be continued on another season. Well, I just heard a
rumour.. dunno if it's true
Hahaha... I thought I'm the only one who think pen tool is really hard to use!
Before I start vectoring, I used to extract an image from background with
polygon tool (coz the tutorial I read used polygon tool) but later I found out
that using pen tool will give much better result, but I somehow hate it. So I
still continue extracting with polygon tool... later when I start vectoring, I
forced myself to learn pen tool. But honestly, Illustrator pen tool is more
"friendlier" than PS. I don't need to learn or practice with
Illustrator... in fact, I can use it right away just fine!
actually, what I wanna know about X/1999 is... I'm curious about Fuuma. I didn't
notice, since when did he had such a soft expressions again. It's almost like an
old Fuuma, but not entirely him. I feel like he's a mixed between
"Kamui" & Fuuma. And before that, there's just "Kamui".
Quite confusing, ne? But that's how I describe Fuuma.
Ah, that's right! Lelouch is too skinny that he almost look unhealthy! And kinda
look like a girl too
That gay posses didn't help much too
That's why I'm saying.. Lelouch siscon is already at the point of sickening! And
it's actually disgusting... Saying "suki" between sibling is fine by
me.. but "aishiteru"? Oooookay! That made my ear bleed a little! But..
I wonder why there's no one mention about that. Didn't they know the different
between "suki" & "aishiteru"? Or.. they're rooting for..
INCEST? Ewwwww! No incest!
That's why I'm surprised! Suzaku is changing after all! And in fact, I noticed
that some Lelouch fans has begun to noticed that Lelouch is a bastard after all
(I didn't say that. I read Omni comment at Random Curiosity. And I was like...
"Hello? You just noticed that? ).
Other than that, I'm sure that Suzaku has gained more fans now... seeing my
Suzaku Fanlisting has a new member almost EVERYDAY. This didn't happened while
1st season airing, I tell you! So it makes me happy.
I thought I'm the only one who feels that. I was excited when R2 started. But
after episode 3... my excitement kinda died down. I didn't d/l the RAW anymore,
and I don't mind if I get to watched the new episode after 2-3 days airing! R2
is boring, right? And I heard that the rating is not good too. It's been going
up & down every week. So, does this mean that R2 is actually
"bad"? Well, it might not as bad as SEED Destiny.. but still, this is
weird. They're supposed to made R2 better than previous one, but.... if you also
feel the same, I guess R2 is really bad after all. And hopefully... no another
season. I don't think I could handle another Lelouch worshipping anymore! (IF...
they decided to made R2 unfinished... AGAIN.)
Ehhhh? Pappi-san is in Macross Frontier!? I didn't know that! Since I've never
watched any Macross series before.. I decided not to watch this one too. I guess
I'll asked my brother for it later
Actually... I didn't know the episode was cut down, until you told me! I've been
offline a lot lately, so I didn't know the news! But why did they do that? I
heard that they might put another half in another season (seeing the manga seems
like to end soon)... but I don't know if it's true. It's impossible for them to
cut it because of lacking viewers or something, coz Junjou Romantica is the most
popular BL manga in history! How
could they do this to us! *sobs*sobs* And I still don't have enough of
Misaki!
Wow! Glad that your exam is quite easy! And now you're FREE!
Good for you! Hopefully you can catched up with all stuff that you've left
before
Hmmm... I do vector like crazy while you're "gone". But ever since I
finished my Yuki, I decided to take a break for a while to concentrate on my
Japanese Lesson. To practice my skills, I do try to read UraBoku manga... and I
manged to understand some of it. But.. I never thought that it's pretty hard! I
mean, the kana for "daijoubu" is actually written as
"daijiyoubu". And.. there's few other's that I had no idea how to
pronounced it. But I
think, the hard one to pronounced is actually katakana. I cracked my brain to
find out what is "deyudesu" but with no avail
Of course you were
you
allways help me 
hanaratsuuuuuu
lol you are welcome
thanx!
You're welcome! Keep up your great work!
Have a nice day!
It's normal to be lazy after going though a lot of stuff in RL! I become lazy too lately
All I wanna do is sleep 24/7 
But
that's not possible, rite?
Kanji is indeed scary
There's
so many times that I wanna give up.. but somehow I couldn't. I'm still going
on.. but a little slow. To make sure I understand and know the kanji perfectly,
I decided to do "1 day, 1 kanji". At least, it won't confuse me much
if I did that 
At the same time, I also decided to re-review my grammar. I think
I had a little problem there, that's why I couldn't read some of the
kana/furigana.
Summary? I'm thinking of scanlating the rest of the manga! I'm alreday halfway done with chapter 4.. but I got distracted with lot's of things like.. UraBoku newest chapter, and before that I was making an Illustrator Vector Tutorial (already done, but it's still need some final checking)
Oh yeah... I almost forgot! There'll be new UraBoku drama CD! It'll be out on late November! I can't wait for it! It seems like it'll finally cover Kanata betrayal on Yuki, and Luka "confessions". Kyaaaaaaaaaa!
Oh yeah, it's not complete without having CG ranting, ne?
Why
didn't they blamed Xingke? If he didn't take Kallen in the first place, Suzaku
wouldn't get his hands on Kallen (and Guren)! But oh well, what's done is
done.
It
makes me wanna cry. But seems like both Guren & Lancelot got a new upgrade
(look like Destiny wings, but if we consider the color, Justice &
Freedom?).. and the thing puzzles me is, those wings look similar. Does that
mean it was upgraded by the same person (or team)? WTH? And I also noticed Gino
expressions has become serious... a real Gino? And then, there's this Suzaku
& Lelouch shot on the ED. Did you notice that they're holding onto each
other (well, sort of. Suzaku placing his hand over Lelouch shoulder, and Lelouch
is touching Suzaku arm)? Woah.. That is so unexpected. I can imagine that
there's a HUGE change in Suzaku & Lelouch relationship later. Hopefully, for
good 
Awww.... I wanna see older CCS!Syaoran face! 
I kinda know that's going to happened (remember that I don't read discussions). But oh well, they're just a bunch of idiot who's been wanting to bash Suzaku. I mean, the last few episode Suzaku rarely comes out.. so he didn't get the chance to do anything, so when he took Kallen... those idiot just take the chance to bash him again
I just watched ep13.... and it seems like Shirley has become just like Euphie tragedies. Damn Rollo! I never like Rollo, he's too possessive over Lelouch (to the point of disgusting), but I never like Shirley either.. It just, she didn't deserve to die like that. But I kinda wanting to point out that's partly her own fault that she died
You know what? I was wondering, why is there a lack of Suzaku in both new OP/ED? I watched them a hundred of times already
Oh yeah.. seeing another CLAMP Suzaku made me remember. Did you read Tsubasa manga? The latest chapter that a glimpse of an older version of CCS!Syaoran, know what I'm thinking? He probably look like Suzaku! I couldn't help it! That scene when he handed his sword, kinda remind me of Suzaku posture
Hahaha... me too. I'm getting bored with VK manga... not only the anime, but the manga too? Honestly, I haven't read the last 2-3 chapter yet. It's not as good as when it first started
Yep, it's best if I gave up on both.
Hmmm... actually, to me Illustrator pen tool is much easier to "bend" (that's probably not the right word.. but, oh well
). When I teach my sister to use both Photoshop & Illustrator pen tool,
she also agreed that Illustrator was easier to use (My sis never use
Photoshop/Illustrator before. I had to teach her first.). Well, if you wanna use
Illustrator, you can try looking at this tut first. It's a basic Illustrator
tutorial: http://minimonster777.deviantart.com/art/Ultimate-Vector-Tut-1-2-23976432
And I'll post my vector tut right after I'm happy with it 
I actually like that "Kamui"Fuuma.. but like you said, we don't know what's on his mind. Is he evil or good? If he's evil, why did he had that soft expressions (and nothing like real Fuuma too!) and if he's good, why did he kill so many people? I don't get it.. but that's what makes him interesting
Hopefully, CLAMP continue with the manga. It's a shame if they don't. 
I love that Nataku! He had such a soft expressions when he's with Karen. So he's
thinking that Fuuma is his father, while Karen his mother. Hahaha.. weird
combination of parents 
Aww... I wanna vector Kamui too. But I didn't know which image to choose! If I took to long, I probably start vectoring Nataku first! There's this cute image of Nataku smiling
Oh god... why didn't they "graduate" already with that weird posses! Few days ago, I accidently read some discussions #lurk (I wanna my new Genbu Kaiden manga chapter), they're talking about Suzaku, and why he wanna die. Then there's this guy, which I think a Suzaku hater says Suzaku is a gay, but another come out and says "Lelouch is much gayer! He had an obsessive "little brother" and this gay posses he always did" I laughed really hard when I read that! Oh my god.. that made my day! But I decided not to read any further
Somehow, Suzaku-hater always wins at arguments.
Japanese accepts all kinds of relationship, aren't they? I remember watching Koi Kaze few years back, and I almost died when the two sibling had sex! I throw away the CD's after that (not after I scratched it). Urghhh.. I had no idea it's an incest. Though there's some hints earlier.. but I thought the girl didn't love her brother, how I was wrong! Urghhh.. that really scars me for the rest of my life
Sunrise actually blaming the RAW downloading for the bad rating? How stupid they are? It has nothing to do with it. They probably couldn't accept the fact that R2 isn't as good as the first one... so they need to blame someone/something for it. Just admit it already, Sunrise (and also the Geass team production)! Oh yeah... I remember seeing a post at LJ.. and this person imagine that Lelouch is fed-up with the recent storyline and decided to quit. He told them to get Sayoko to replaced him instead, and hang up. Then he call again and said he's taking Suzaku & Nunnally with him! I laughed REALLY hard at that. Imagine if that's really happened! Lelouch quits R2? And taking Suzaku & Nunnally with him?
Ahh.. I'm kinda surprised about that too. Charles & V.V twins? We know that Charles call V.V "niisan" before, but I thought it means nothing.
Yep.. I'm sad that Junjou's end. But I found out that it's been licensed! That fast? And that would mean, Junjou is actually much popular than VK in US. I mean, that's how they do it, right? The popular series got licensed even faster. That kinda make me feel good. Junjou actually beats VK! Nyahahaha!
I saw that Suzuki-san too! I was like "awwww... I wanna that one too!" Suzuki-san really popular, ne? It's kinda funny to see Nowaki/Hiroki fans make a huge fuss over Suzuki-san
Ummm... now that I'm done with the tutorial, I'm alternating between learning kanji & vectoring. I'm trying to finish my Luka vector wall
It's been delayed for a months already. And I'm thinking of starting another one
in the meantime 
I actually got bored with my dark UP.. so I use Luka image. It's actually the same one I used for Luka fanlisting.. even the color is similar. BUT! I forgot that the new layout is under beta.. so, I won't be able to use this one for long
I've always wanted to write things down, but for the longest time I couldn't bring myself to. I've started writing just a little lately though, and I'm glad.
And I'm so glad that you've begun to walk again...even if it is slowly. I've been completely frozen for exactly a year now, so hopefully I can try and take some steps. Ugly mask...I never really thought of it that way. But you're right. I'd much rather be able to show my true smile than a meaningless fake one.
Oh wow, thanks so much
I can't bring myself to think of myself as a real artist, but hopefully I can
try to express emotion again, at least in my personal series ^^ It's so
wonderful that everyone's seeing the emotion in the wall. Like your wall too
^^
Yeah, journal update
Yeah,
the park was fun, it's pretty big and had a ton of things going on, plus there
was a nice lake and stuff. I mostly went to find new things to take pictures of
:P
Awww your welcome
And yeah, we should
She's
on my friendlist 
oh, you mean Juhana
working on an original as well
XD
Hanaratsuuuuuu~!
Hmmm the moon?
it's suppose to be big but I can try making it smaller to see..
Aw, thanks so much Kairi-chan! <3 I'm glad you can feel the emotions in the wall. I think this is the first time I really attempted that, so I'm very happy that it seems to be a success ^^ Your comment doesn't suck
It made
me so happy 
I'm really glad you like it, thanks again ^_^
Arigatou
gahh >___< now i have to finish 5 more vectors for tomorrow =___=
and i didn't had time to make the crossdressing one -___-
oh well
Take care~!
Hi there kairi-chan
&
thanks a lot for the sweet comments
I really appreciate your support
well hino-sensei's style looks kinda hard to vector but once you started working on you'll find it much easier than you thought & you do enjoy working on them
see you around
merged: 06-30-2008 ~ 11:27pm
yes I am
yes they are perfect I think I will pass
you're welcome
You're welcome~!
Keep up the great work. [x
I wish you good look with the entrance exams. But know you have to wait for such a long time.. For me it would be like hell. What do you think? Did you do well? September? WOW! Such a long time.. I just have holidays from 21/7 until 8/8.
I still have to save all my data on a cd but I always forget it. I have to write a note or something.. My pc is kinda slow the last days.. Too bad I cannot save for a new pc until i buy a kitchen..
i didn't know that you can buy memory for the pc.. is it expensive? if not I have to think about it.. because all in all the notebook is ok.. it just have low memory
yehaa i got some marks at my right arm, but it's okay since i am used to have marks.. and it's my fault.. and yehaa i am feeling better=D but it's too bad since i have to work now.. the break was kinda nice =D
that's right.. that a huge advantage of digital painting.. but i prefer original painting since it looks way cooler. I am kinda envious of you =D
that's right.. xxxholic without trc crossover is kinda weird. well i watched kei epi 1 already but I don't feel like watching the other episodes.. i hope they won't make a third season.. anyways i am thinking the manga comes to it ends since they revealed watanuki's first wish a few chapters ago.. I am not sure if i understand everything right..
i don't have patience when I vector.. I always wanna finish everything fast.. so it's a good thing that you take your time and experience..
I also prefer spring because the weather is nice, the flowers start blooming, and it's not too hot.. but i have to admit that i am really glad it's hot because all the children in the kindergarten are outside and I have a 120 minutes break instead of 30 minutes =D
you have a beach? nyaa that's so mean.. i wanna have one too..
btw do you watch football? the whole country is full with german and turkish flags.. i am sick of it.. i already had enough two years ago..
anyways have a nice day..
i am going to enjoy the sunshine until i am going sleeping =D
Hello there Kairi-Hearts^_^
Can we be friends? ...and talk more about each of our selves?
Nice profile! ^_^
No problem at all
eheh you're welcome
and
yeah, i hope there's a lot more vector-walls to come 
btw, are we going to keep this name or not? 
Hanaratsu!
You are welcome.
Thank you so much Kairi <33
Its alright, I still love that you put something
down. Most people don't comment so it's nice to
have a few sentences down :3
Oh my god! Kairi is back! Miss you so much!
actually, I've been wanting to go over and asked what happened... but I suddenly remember that you had an entrance exam somewhere this month, so held back and decided to wait. And I was right! Good to have you back!
Yep! I'm 100% serious! In fact, I'm already starting Level 4 Kanji (to be more exact, it's the kanji that elementary school 1st grader learned). And there's 80 of them
Oh yeah, I went ORO. I'm not even done with half of it! 
It's sooooo hard! And I wanna cry! But I'm still continuing! For the sake of
UraBoku! 
Oh yeah, talking about UraBoku, I recently decided to find
out what Yuki names mean in kanji.. and finally realize that his name written in
kanji actually reads as "yuuzuki" which means "evening
moons".
Ahahaha... fanservice sucks. And Kallen just there to provide fanservice so that perverted Geass fan wouldn't ran away
But I noticed that Kallen starting to make a "face" whenever she
sees Lelouch & C.C together... Look like someone is jealous! 
It
wasn't as good as I thought it would be, so.. yeah. I only keep watching (and
reading) for Shiki sake. But it seems like the number of episode is only 12-13..
while the rest will be continued on another season. Well, I just heard a
rumour.. dunno if it's true 
Somehow, I think that "romance" is quite unsuitable for Code Geass (more like, for Lelouch). I dunno.. it's just sounds.. off. I mean, Lelouch in romantic relationship? *snort* yeah right.
Hmmm.. I was thinking about that too. Time flies really fast, and tomorrow already episode 11. And I honestly think that there won't be much character development.. with more new character will be introduced properly (like the new royal princesses & other Knights of Round).
I also gave up in VK anime
Hahaha... I thought I'm the only one who think pen tool is really hard to use! Before I start vectoring, I used to extract an image from background with polygon tool (coz the tutorial I read used polygon tool) but later I found out that using pen tool will give much better result, but I somehow hate it. So I still continue extracting with polygon tool... later when I start vectoring, I forced myself to learn pen tool. But honestly, Illustrator pen tool is more "friendlier" than PS. I don't need to learn or practice with Illustrator... in fact, I can use it right away just fine!
actually, what I wanna know about X/1999 is... I'm curious about Fuuma. I didn't notice, since when did he had such a soft expressions again. It's almost like an old Fuuma, but not entirely him. I feel like he's a mixed between "Kamui" & Fuuma. And before that, there's just "Kamui". Quite confusing, ne? But that's how I describe Fuuma.

How
could they do this to us! *sobs*sobs* And I still don't have enough of
Misaki!
Wow! Glad that your exam is quite easy! And now you're FREE!
Good for you! Hopefully you can catched up with all stuff that you've left
